Product Overview
The Regatta Junior Kids Dover jacket is a meticulously engineered outer layer designed to protect younger users from the unpredictable British weather. As a staple in the schoolwear and youth club sector, this jacket combines a waterproof Hydrafort polyester exterior with a warm fleece lining, ensuring that children remain dry and comfortable during outdoor activities. Its functional design includes taped seams to prevent water ingress, making it a reliable choice for daily wear throughout the winter months.
Key Features
- Waterproof Hydrafort Polyester: This fabric provides a robust barrier against rain, ensuring the wearer stays dry during downpours.
- Anti-Pill Fleece Lining: The 250 series fleece lining in the body and collar traps warmth effectively while resisting the formation of bobbles, maintaining a professional appearance over time.
- Taped Seams: By sealing the stitched joints, this feature prevents water from leaking through the garment's construction, offering superior weather protection.
- Concealed Hood: The hood can be tucked away into the fleece-lined collar when not in use, providing versatility for changing weather conditions.
- Embroidery Access Zip: A dedicated zip entrance in the lining allows for clean customisation, ensuring the reverse of the embroidery is hidden from view and doesn't compromise comfort.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Dover jacket lies in its clever construction. While the body is lined with thick, insulating fleece, the sleeves utilise Thermoguard insulation with a polyamide lining. This design choice ensures maximum warmth for the core while allowing for greater freedom of movement in the arms, which is essential for active children. The medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to withstand the rigours of the playground without being overly cumbersome.
Durability is enhanced by the anti-pill properties of the fleece and the windproof nature of the outer shell. The inclusion of elasticated cuffs and a storm flap with hook and loop fastenings further prevents heat loss and blocks out cold drafts, ensuring the jacket performs as well on the last day of term as it did on the first.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing for high-quality branding to suit your specific needs. Embroidery is particularly effective for school crests or club logos on the chest, providing a traditional and durable finish that withstands frequent laundering. The internal embroidery access zip is a professional-grade feature that ensures the embroidery process does not pierce the internal lining unnecessarily.
For larger, high-impact designs such as team names across the back, printing is a superior option. Our Telford-based team, who have been perfecting garment customisation since 1976, manages the entire process in-house to ensure your branding meets our exacting standards for clarity and longevity.
Use Cases
The Regatta Junior Dover jacket is ideally suited for school uniforms, providing a cohesive and smart appearance for pupils while offering practical protection. It is also a popular choice for youth organisations, sports clubs, and outdoor activity centres where a uniform look is required in exposed environments. Given its robust construction, it serves perfectly as a general-purpose winter coat for any business providing workwear for younger staff or participants.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for children, we recommend considering the layers that will be worn underneath. As this jacket is designed with a fleece lining, it fits snugly; therefore, if the wearer is between sizes or intends to wear thick jumpers, opting for the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit. The integrated name label inside is a practical addition to ensure the garment can be easily identified in a busy school environment.
Caring for your product
To maintain the waterproof integrity and aesthetic quality of the jacket, it should be washed using a cool cycle. High temperatures can damage the Hydrafort coating and the synthetic fibres of the fleece lining, leading to a loss of performance.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and any custom branding. We also advise against tumble drying, as the intense heat can warp the waterproof seals and elasticated components; instead, allow the jacket to air dry naturally.
Do not iron or dry clean this garment, as these processes involve heat and chemicals that are incompatible with the polyester and polyamide materials. Ensure all fasteners, including zips and hook and loop flaps, are closed before washing to prevent snagging. Finally, never store the jacket while damp, as this can encourage the growth of mildew and permanently damage the fabric.
